MARY A. BAIRD, OF STERLING, ILLINOIS.

FLAT-IRON HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 30, 1911.

Patented July 28, 1914.

Serial No. 636,286.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, M RY A. BAIRD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sterling, in the county of Whiteside and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Iron Holders, of which the following is a specification. v

My invention has reference to fiat-iron holders, and is more specially adapted foruse in the process of heating such irons by means of the blaze produced by oil-burning stoves.

In most of the heating devices of the class named the irons are supported at some distance above the blaze, and before the heat reaches such irons it is largely dissipated, the operation of heating the fiat-irons thereby being very slow and unsatisfactory.

In my device I aim to overcome this difliculty by supporting the fiat-irons above the blaze in a position best adapted to receive the heat therefrom, and by concentrating and retaining such heat about the irons.

My invention is of. simple and durable construction, being formed of metal throughout, and is adapted for use with an ordinary set of three irons. i

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of my invention with the cover 7 shown in vertical section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the supporting. frame.

1 is a triangular plate, adapted to be supported on the top of the stove, so that the burner will be centrally thereof, and upon such plate is mounted a triangular frame 2, by means of legs 8, fixed at their lower ends to the plate 1 and at their upper ends to the frame 2, the points of attachment being at the angles of said plate and support, respectively. 7

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Secured to the supporting} frame is a guard-frame comprising arms 4 secured to the legs 3, and provided with alternate bars 5 parallel with the bars of the frame 2. The flat-irons are slipped downwardly between the bars 5 and frame 2, with the broad ends of the irons restingupon the plate 1. The irons are thereby held in a sloping position with the lower faces thereof inclined inwardly over the blaze, and are prevented from tipping rearwardly by means of the bars '5. The several members of the plate 1 may be projected. into ledges 6 for the better support of the irons.

7 is a bell-shaped cover, formed of sheetmetal, and adapted to inclose the irons and supporting frame therefor, whereby the heat is retained about the irons.

lVhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

A device of the class named, comprising an angularmetal base, the bars of which are provided with outwardly projected of and parallel with the bars of said angular frame, and spaced apart therefrom.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MARY A. BAIRD.
